Worms Crawl In

My dad sang some variant of this to me 40+ years ago. I am forbidden from singing to our Grandson!

[Verse]
Am
Did you ever think as a hearse goes by
F                E
You might be the one to die?
Am
They wrap you up in a bloody sheet
F                E
Cover you up for about six weeks.
 
Am
They put you in a painted box
F                  E
Seal it tight with girders and locks
Am
All goes well for maybe a week
F                   E
Then the parasites start to eat.
 
[Chorus]
Am
The bugs crawl in the bugs crawl out
F                E
They play poker on your snout
Am
They’ll chew through your eyes, they’ll bite your nose
F                         E
They’ll eat the fungus between your toes.
 
[Bridge]
  Am
A purple fly with pulsating wings
F                         E
Flies in your stomach and out your thing
Am
Try as you might your stomach explodes
F                    E
Blood comes out like whipping cream.
 
[Chorus]
Am
The bugs come out and some worms come in
F                             E
Your intestines boil and your blood starts to thin
Am
All the worms crawl out in a mass
F                           E
Your eyes fall out and your skin turns black.
